ATLANTA GOES WET"

The 20 itical and social contest In
which the people of Atlanta have been
engaged for weeks. eliminated on
Saturday in the battle of the ballot to
decide the question of whether or not
the city and county should be wet" or
dry" in the matter of the traffic in in
toxicants. The campaign has beena long
one, and each side has done all it could
to win. The newspapers for some time
have talked about little else than the
question at issue. The ministers went
into the contest With will, and tried to
inspire their congregations with
the Importance and necessity
of declaring for prohibition. The
women were active, earnest and
soliciIous, and it is undoubtedly due to
their efforts that SO many "dry" votes
were cast. Only by small majoritS
was prohibition defeated, and Atlanta
returned to the list of high license
c ties. ! II, city has been under pro-
hibitory law for some years, but at no
time during the period has it had pro-
hibition. Liquor has not been sold as
openly as formerly, nor as it will be
hereafter, bat perhaps quite as much
has been sold and drank as there would
have been if no law had forbidden the
traffic. The police court records prove
that drunkenness has not decreased.
and 1t is alleged that the internal
revenue license taxes have not fallen off.
Hence, under the circumstances the
city will suffer none from a moral point
of view by reason of the defeat of pro-
hibition, while the gaia financially will
be great. 1t has cost as much, if not
more, for the municipality to protect
the public from the evil of intemperance
as it will when the liquor traffic shall
not be unlawful, and none of this e1-
pense has been borne by the offensive
trade. The high license will not in
crease the evil, but will contribute to-
wards the expense of dealing with that
evil.

A GLOOMY VIEW FOR FARMERS.

A writer in the Baltimore American takes rather
gloomy view of the outlook for the farming class
in this State. He says:
"The Maryland farmer is gradually and per-
ceptibly becoming poorer and poorer. In one Of
on eeurtiss We vvsr tell that -twenty fye
per cent. of the farms are heavily mortgaged, and
it is said that it is only question of time before
they all will succumb, if their attention is not di
rected to stock raising and truck gardening
Farming property is materially shrinking in value
and it is the duty of our State to legslate by Civ
ing heavy premiums to such as will endeavor to
redeem the value of property, by entering into
new channels of industry, and be instructed to
dismiss that which impoverishes them and which
reduces the revenue of the State"
We do not know to what county the writer of
the above refers, but if what he says is true, it
shows a most melancholy state of affairs. But we
do not see that farmers who have made such a
dismal failure in their chosen business-a business
to which they were born and educated-could
succeed in another calling in which they have had
no experience. And if every farmer who has a
mortgage on his property should engage in truck
gardening, for instance, very soon that branch of
business would be so overdone that the market
value of the truck would not pay for the hauling
of it. There is something radically wrong, but
what has caused it and the remedy for it are both
hard to determine. There are one or two things
that might improve the present condition of affairs.
One is better farming and less of it, and the other
is economy. The trouble with many farmers is
they have too much land and as q consequence
they do not properly cultivate it. One acre,
properly worked, will yield better results than ten
farmed in a loose and unintelligent manner. In
other words it is better to raise thirty bushels of
wheat on one acre than to produce the same guam
tity on three. and this is something that many
farmers will have to learn.
On this subject the Farm Journal says: Snow
let farmers determine for all to stand square
ly by their business. Praise it for all it is WORTH
not condemn it because it will not run itself and
carry us besides. Talk itup, not down. Encour-
age it by patting it the back, not send it off in
sulky mood with kick and a growl. 1t is q
royal good business, but it will not stand abuse
nor neglect. Stay close by it. Put grit, pluck,
determination into it. Pin your faith to it. but
do not forget that faith is evidenced by work. Is
not just here one of the troubles? Are not too
many of us trying to make the farm work itself?
Theorizing will not answer. 1t takes farming to
make the farm pay Thinking, and talking, and
planning, and learning can never be substituted
for doing they are only aids to it."

rs Minnesota has long been famous for hard
spring wheat, new process flour, big cities and
other good things. 1t promises to become gold
producing State, besides, and if the report of the
gold find in Cook county be verified the north
eastern extremity of the State may soon become
mining camp. The region in which the nuggets
of gold are said to have been found is north of
Lake Superior, between the lake and the Dominion
line. If genuine, the discovery shows that copper
and iron ores are not the only minerals that exist
in that wonderfully rich region. Perhaps the
gold find is not so rich as reported, and possibly
it is only the fiction of an imaginative BRAIN
STILL the district is rich in mineral deposits of
various kinds that the discovery of both gold and
silver in large quantities would cause little sur
prise.

old enemy, Blaine, has made better friends or Bit
terer enemies than this commanding figure in our
national field. There are those in New York
thousands of them-who feel for him the knightly
interest of more chivalric day and who would
fight for him until they fell. And beyond the
limit of his own Empire State the number of these
is even greater. Few of these have any favors to
ask many of them he has never seen and may
not see and others know him only by reputation.
But that, unsatisfactory it is in most cases, is
not so in his. The stronger the light turned on
him the holder his manly qualities stand out.

for the Republicans, Ames having been elected

gain over last year. New Jersey was also car
ried by the Republicans, who will have a good
